Serbia – Joins the EU much later in the life span. (I am playing FM 18 as I haven’t liked the UIs of the more recent versions). It would be fun to be playing Serbia when that happens in a few years. 16 teams, 30 games, no more than 4 foreign players, divides into two halves at the end like Romania and Slovakia and plays each other. No thanks.
Austria – In the EU, 10 teams, 36 games, 7 non EU, it does not divide up. You face the heavies four times each so you need to really bring your game. You have a lot of slots for non EU players, Slovakia just had 5. Bigger league with 1 Champions and 3 EURO quals out of 10 teams.
Slovenia – In the EU, 10 teams, 36 games, 3 non-EU players, 1 Champion, 2 EURO, this would be a big challenge with not that many non-EUs allowed.
Croatia – In the EU, 10 teams, 8 Non-EU, 36 games, 2 EURO quals, less of a challenge with that many Non EUs.
Poland – In the EU, 16 teams, 30 games, byzantine rules
Hungary – In the EU, 12 teams, 33 games, 5 Non EU, about the same challenge level as Slovakia. 3 EURO spots.
Let’s do Hungary!
Now…

2017–18 Nemzeti Bajnokság I - Wikipedia) and we have…
Vasas hitting #12. We’ll take Vasas.
